Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-4289: ------------------------------------------ Jacques, there are so many things that I still don't like in your patch, I am sorry (if you think I am becoming too picky, please ask for the review of someone else, it would actually be good to get others' opinion). A) this should be logged as info rather than error (deploying on tomcat is not mandatory): {code}+ Debug.logError(e, "No catalina-container configuration found in container config!");{code} B) I am still confused by the usage of the usage of the "distributableApplication" variable; the way I understand its meaning is the following: * distributableApplication should match the value of the xml field "apps-distributable" * when this value is set to true then the application will be distributed and the sessions will be serialized If the two sentences are correct then there are issues in your code. C) And your last patch is, by default, not setting the fields in session and this will *again* generate the error that I fixed a few days ago (introduced when you first implemented this feature). D) The steps to recreate the error are listed in a previous comment in this task... if you simply set to null (as you still are suggesting) the fields when apps-distributable is set to true then the error will happen again so your proposed patch doesn't fix the issue. E) A final note; what is the purpose of this comment: {code}+ // NOTE2: it would have been more helpful to know the why than the what (only few words)!{code} ?
